I want to like Americanos, I really do. We have been here several times as we like to support local establishments, but it is never good. 1. You have to order chips and salsa, they do not provide even one complimentary serving. The chips were cold and the salsa has no taste at all, it seemed like they just dumped tomato sauce out of a can. 2. The chicken for the kids tacos is spicy. Most kids just don’t like spicy. Some good old-fashioned taco ground beef would be perfect. And the fries are undercooked. 3. Food is expensive. I get it is everywhere, but it has always felt a bit more expensive than it needs to be. 4. The fajitas come on a plastic plate, no sizzling fajitas there. The steak was hard to chew through, but I guess the taste was fine. 5. I had asked for no cilantro and my dish came literally filled with cilantro. OK, mistakes happen. And I guess I didn’t mind waiting a long time to get another order since I felt that meant they actually remade it. 6. We had to ask for ketchup, salt, and napkins. We ordered fries, At least bring the ketchup. 7. We were clearly done, had reluctantly wrapped up some of the leftovers, And waiting at least 15 minutes for the check, I had to end up asking a different server for the check. I just think there are a few tweaks they can make that would make it so much better. Especially the chips and salsa. You have to at least have good chips and salsa!

As you walk in we were able to sit ourselves. Sat at a booth and was definitely enough room for us. I like the booths with optional seats. Except the booths do not have cushions, especially for your back. Service was quick. It seems to be family owned. It was 3 of us and they have a special for $30. It comes with 6 tacos, rice, and beans. I definitely recommend if you want to try different tacos for cheaper. I really enjoyed the chorizo taco. My cousin said the elote poblano taco was amazingly good. The steak was tender just needed a bit more season. The chicken taco has good flavor and per the other guest al pastor was tasty as well. The harbeño margarita has great flavor.

Every visit to Americanos has been a wonderful experience! The tacos never disappoint—we always order the 12-taco platter, which comes with rice and beans at a very reasonable price. My favorite drink is the horchata; it’s creamy, refreshing, and the closest I’ve had to the one my mom makes. The salsas are also delicious, though be warned—the red one is very spicy, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t enjoy heat! Overall, Americanos offers excellent quality food, outstanding service, and great value. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place with authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere.

We have used Americanos for catering 3 times now and they have been wonderful! AJ is very accommodating and responsive to messaging. The taco servings are generous and have plenty of salsa and fixings. It is always a crowd pleaser! We have ordered chicken, al pastor and streak tacos as well as the steak quesadillas. All delicious!

WE LOVE AMERICANOS! Tacos are SO GOOD (coming from a Texan who eats tacos for breakfast, lunch, AND DINNER) (and i'm not obese im pretty thin actually!) Doe is the best bartender, he makes us giggle, and he makes us the BEST skinny spicy margs every time (keeps me thin! take notes ladies! we also had horchata bites let yourself indulge every now and then) This is second time l've been here when I come visit my twin sister in Chicago. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO TACOS!

came in the other day with my family, restaurant only had maybe 3 other guests there so it was not busy whatsoever. sat at the bar and the bartender gave us water and menus and forgot we existed. looked like there were only 2 staff working and while the bartender seemed busy, the other staff member spent her time talking to what seemed like her friends and wiping the same spot on the counter the entire time we were seated. left after waiting for another nearby restaurant and received much faster service elsewhere. wish I could say this was a fluke but received similar service the last time we were there, which is upsetting because the brussel sprout salad is very good.
Chicken Tinga enchiladas were amazing and delicious!

We have been wanting to check this place out, but maybe our expectations were too high. Went on a Saturday afternoon, not busy at all. Ordered Steak Tacos and Steak Torta. The Torta; steak was such a small dice, that you could not really taste it and with every bite the diced steak would fall out from the sandwich. The only flavor dominate was the refried beans. Something was missing, maybe a bit more spice? Tacos were good, but again steak pieces were small or maybe it was just lacking something. The country music playing made us want to leave sooner than we had expected. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Will have to pass on returning.

I absolutely love this place. I come at least once a week now since I found it. I can’t believe it’s never busy Friday evenings or Saturday evenings. More people need to try this place! The food is sooo good. Service is fantastic. Drinks are really really good. They have a signature drink every month that really puts a twist on margaritas. Definitely check this place out!!

Stopped by Americanos in Edison Park and it hit the spot. Grabbed the taco dinner, went with steak, shrimp, and al pastor and added elotes on the side. Washed it down with a cold Mexican Coke. Total came to around $25. Tacos were legit: fresh, flavorful, and packed with toppings. Elotes were creamy and had a nice kick. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back for more.
